Games as literary aids?

I wrote this on my other blog and was wondering what you all thought on the subject - I'm soon to be a father myself (nervous, but happy!) and I have long thought that I would like to bring up my kids using an old mac (iMac, even) instead of relying on the Baby Einstein or Night Garden rubbish on DVD. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Personally me being born in 93... the electronic stuff that I was brought up on was Pingu, Blue Peter, Fireman Sam (All on VHS), Disney games on WIN95 CD-ROMS, Lego Island for win95, and some of the 90's educational stuff on the BBC during the day.
Oh and of course the Sega MegaDrive.

But yeah, I think its a good idea... With the iMac being quite a tough machine and all.
Also games for the kids will be one thing one them to reminisce about...

(I just did that then... ahh Lego island..............................)
